Der kleine Thomas hat Kampf gegen den Krebs verloren

Dieses Foto einer australischen Familie wurde im März dieses Jahres weltbekannt. Die Blanksbys mussten mit einem harten Schicksal leben. Bei ihrem erst einige Monate alten Sohn Thomas wurde Krebs diagnostiziert, die Ärzte können für das Baby nichts mehr tun.  Die Familie versuchte daher, die wenige verbleibende Zeit noch zu nutzen und so viel Zeit wie möglich miteinander zu verbringen.

Doch nicht nur die Eltern sorgen sich rührend um den kleinen Thomas, sondern auch sein älterer Bruder William. Seine Mutter Sheryl postete auf Instagram ein herzzerreißendes Foto ihrer beiden Söhne. William kuschelt sich dabei zu seinem jüngeren Bruder und versucht ihn zu trösten: "Ich bin hier, alles ist ok".

 

#Throwback to when we were on our holiday. I was getting ready in the bathroom and husband was in the kitchen. The kids were quiet, especially Mr preschooler. You know the rules about when kids are quiet. I tiptoed to the lounge with my camera ready to catch anything they are doing. I was expecting my baby to be covered in Nutella or something but instead I saw this. My preschooler is telling his baby brother "Kuya (big brother) is here. Everything is ok". #myboys #bestbigbrother #documentinglittlemoments #mybabyloves #myheartandsoul #luckymummy

Am Dienstag musste Sheryl auf Instagram mitteilen, dass ihr Sohn Thomas den Kampf gegen den Krebs verloren hat.

 

It is with immense sadness that we share, our #littlewarriorthomas grew his angel wings yesterday night, 8th of May 2017 at 730pm. He was surrounded by family and right next to his mummy and daddy when he passed away. He fought the good fight especially when he was only expected to live for only short amount of weeks after his diagnosis. His baby sibling who we miscarried before him that had the same due date was also taken away from us the same date 2 years ago and they are now together with our loved ones who are looking down upon us. He's no longer in pain is our only consolation. We miss him so much everything hurts. Thank for all your kindness and support the last few months. ???????????? #fuckcancer

Dear #littlewarriorthomas Your #superkuyawilliam was looking for you everywhere in the house today. He thought we were hiding you to surprise him. I told him you're in heaven now and he got worried that you will miss him so much. He was also worried that you will get wet from the rain. I told him to look up the sky and say hi to you and to watch out for signs when you say hello back. We miss you so much darling boy. Love you always your mummy, daddy and Kuya. #documentinglittlemoments #wemissyou
